dave parnham Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi Everyone, some of our club members and I are looking to buy/replace there beloved Acromaster's But I have scoured the net here and in Germany and cannot find Stock. Have they been discontinued? or are they just very popular?? If anyone knows of a LMS that has stock I would be very interested to know, many thanks. dave p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Prop Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 4Max have stocked them in the past. Not in the latest catalogue, but you never know, there might be one left on the shelf. Could be worth a call. Good luck, its a lovely plane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm with Percy, the model hasn't been discontinued. I did a quick search here in Spain and found stock in a couple of places. Unfortunately, neither ship outside of the country so no help for the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Try Andover Models, he had a secondhand one for sale but he's old school with no website. Loads of kits in boxes tucked away, quite a few Multiplex boxes. I'm sure there are a few model shops left without websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave parnham Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks guys, there is hope, a fellow club member just ordered one yesterday and it turned up this afternoon. Sadly for me they are now out of stock but my search continues. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I think what happens with all these foamies, not just Multiplex, is that they set up production and produce a large batch which is then sold over a couple years. Some models will be so popular that they will sanction new batches before the old ones sell out, otherwise what you may see is a new version (i.e. modified) coming out once the old version has cleared the shelves.

dave parnham Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 That would be a real shame if that is true. However I think I have secured my replacement the order is being processed now so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yes, if true it would be the end of one of the best flying foamies ever in my opinion. I might just have to buy another airframe while they're still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave parnham Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I still build, and am currently working on 1/4 scale biplanes, and Chris Foss Acrowot kit as my normal Winter Hack. The beauty of the Acromaster is it can be put in the boot of the car whole and its a great stress reliever,to be able to throw it around the sky attempting 3d stuff and generally having a blast. I shall miss mine when it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Parnham Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The response from Multiplex Good morning, thanks for your interest in our products. AcroMaster has been discontinued. We can recommend you the new Extra 330SC #264274 (RR Version) or #214274 (kit Version) as a replacement. http://www.multiplex-rc.de/produkte/214274-bk-extra-330-sc-gernot-bruckmann-edition Otherwise ParkMaster Pro would be an Option or Extra 300 S. Best regards, Your MULTIPLEX-Team Can't find any UK sites with the 330 listed but shipped from Germany kit £180, RR £310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
